Lovely individual place. We loved the location and the walk along the Canyon each morning. Kanati was the most lovely host. So very accomodating and helpful.

We loved our stay, but Kanati's place is not for everyone. Her adorable cottage was built in the 1940's, and it's a bit rustic. It is filled with lots of antique furniture, old books and family mementos. If you read all of Kanati's description of her place, and you read the reviews, you will know whether her place is for you or not. Kanati's place is old, rustic, and simple, but it's in a gorgeous canyon, only a 15-minute walk to the beach (Paradise Cove), and it is surrounded by multi-million dollar mansions. The price can't be beat. The typical Airbnb places we have stayed in throughout California and overseas would be two or three times the cost if they were in the same canyon as Kanati's place. So if you can handle a place that has some history and is a bit rustic, then you won't regret booking at Kanati's. By the way, Kanati is as kind and warmhearted a person as you will find.

Nice, quaint cottage. The only trouble I had was finding the right road to use off PCH. Coming from the North, my Waze app took me completely the wrong way. My car NAV was not very accurate as well. Make sure you use W. Winding Way Road which is North of PCH and turns into Delaplane Road.

David2017-02-11T00:00:00Z

The only regret from this trip was that we were not able to stay longer! Kanati's cottage is the perfect getaway from the noise and bustle of city life. Kanati greeted us at arrival and was very accommodating. You can tell this is a well loved home, and we enjoyed all of the quirky personal decor inside. We chose to drive instead of walk to the beach, as it is a 5-10 minute drive to just about every great Malibu beach that you could hope for!

Susannah and Todd2016-04-14T00:00:00Z

My writing partner and I rented the cottage for four nights in order to work. For this, the house was suited and I liked the decor and vibe of the place. The proximity to the beach was also a bonus.

Nikolai2016-01-15T00:00:00Z

My boyfriend William and I were very excited to be Kanati's guests in Malibu. Even my daughter Filipa was able to join us at the end of our stay. The neighborhood was lovely; however, the location was not as mapped - it was much further from the coast, and arriving on Saturday, it was peaceful, but that changed on Monday, when we discovered there is work going on next door, very noisy and disturbing. Additionally, we booked entire home with 2 bedrooms; however, the property is a studio...the heating was insufficient...there was no where to do laundry...and using the kitchen required additional rules not previously disclosed. The host was personally present and initially very polite; mid stay, things changed when she accused us of watching movies on her TV by changing her cable company access...not sure how that came about...we did not watch a single movie...the situation went completely out of control with the host yelling that "this is my house, my rules", and if we are not happy, we could leave, and she had wonderful reviews so far. Needless to say, we were not happy campers. Our stay was prepaid and if we leave in the middle of it, there would be no refund...We decided to keep our things there but went on two unplanned 3 day-weekend trips, and left on Feb 16 first thing in the morning.

Diana2016-02-16T00:00:00Z

This place is for you if you like staying close to the nature: falling asleep while listening to coyotes and owls singing outside, feeling the Chumash spirit all across the place. Kanati has created a truly spiritual place within a very safe private area, where you can only fear the nature around you :)

Péter2016-01-23T00:00:00Z

Awesome location. Amazing host. The perfect relaxing spot away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Will definitely be coming back. Only wish we could stay longer this time.

Our peaceful neighborhood offers awesome ocean vistas and is in great location between world famous Paradise Cove, home of "Baywatch" and gorgeous Zuma Beach. The listing will show as being the Paradise Cove restaurant and beach club. That is a point of reference. Our home is across the street (address not listed for privacy, ours and yours). You can walk to shopping and restaurants and beaches while enjoying being enough off the beaten path to relax at will.

Our home not only has shared tennis courts, pool, Jacuzzi and gym, you can also enjoy the latest features in our private theater, often times showing movies still in theaters! This is in a beautiful garden setting on an ocean view property. This is a very quiet, calm and meditative place, though within easy walking distance to where the action is. 2 night limit weekends, short term welcome during the week.

This neighborhood has everything. The hottest stars live within walking distance and shop at these stores, the best beaches are here and the air is simply better. The water is cleaner up this way too!
A local favorite, Duck and Dive is wonderful for high quality burgers etc and local flare music! Be sure to say "Hi" to the cutie Ryan there!
The Grassy Knoll up by Vintage Market, which has fresh scooped Beachy Creme Ice Cream and is where the Malibu bus ends, is a favorite for local celebrities to try out their acts and has played host to many recently!
Casa Escobar, down by the Malibu pier, is the stop for yummy TexMex and some higher end acts. Lucas Nelson was just there. They have fabulous egg dishes too!
My favorite is a romantic spot looking over the ocean, Geoffrey's. Plan to be there just before sunset so you can see the dolphins who are always swimming by!! Ask for a table along the rail so you have the best ocean views!! This is one of the most romantic spots in the world! It can get pricey. Even if you park yourself along the road and walk down, to save valet, and just go for dessert, which locals do for under $20.00, it is well worth the visit! Full dinner and drinks for 2 will run around $200.00 though.
Paradise Cove is within easy walking distance. Once you're on the sand, you’ll find a gorgeous stretch of beach where you can catch some waves, play beach volleyball, cast your fishing line in the surf or off the pier, or relax and enjoy the breathtaking views and the Pacific Ocean. The restaurant there will bring you anything you want from food to beach chairs.
Zuma Beach is a longer hike, or a quick bus stop away or easy 2-3 minute drive with ample free parking.
There are several more hidden beaches further north about 6-8 minutes away that do require a little hike down to and are more private and scenic and pretty much completely undisturbed by modern advancement.
The hiking here is amazing too!! We have several hikes up to waterfalls that are pretty easy to master and enough to leave you feeling well exercised, far away from anything else on earth and refreshed!
Wherever you choose to go, you're gonna love it here! This is the best of Malibu and a rare find on Airbnb!

JC was the most generous host! The room is very clean and beautifully set up. with complete amenities, bathroom, kitchen and private entrance I could not have wanted for more. The location is walking distance to Paradise Cove and a short drive to all he local features - Escondido Falls Trail and Zuma Beach were a couple of my favourites. It was a pleasure to stay and relax at Jc's home. Will definitely look her up if I'm visiting the area again!

DanikaJWright2016-02-24T00:00:00Z

Great room and decor with private bath. Host was great. Private entrance with nice patio.

Nick2016-10-09T00:00:00Z

I had a wonderful time staying in Malibu and visiting JC. Her home was beautiful and everything you would want for a nice relaxing trip! JC is an amazing person and made my trip all the better. I would most definitely recommend this house and hopefully someday I will be back visiting as well!

Lyndsey2016-04-26T00:00:00Z

JC is kind and thoughtful and she quickly made me feel at home. The room is comfortable, and you'll have your privacy. Thanks JC ! Hopefully see you again.

Ramzi2016-09-11T00:00:00Z

Jc's was fantastic! The room was just as described, really spacious with your own private entrance. Easy to get to the beaches, and the theatre was awesome! Everything was clean and we just felt so welcomed by Jc and her kids. It really felt more like staying with family, would definitely recommend!

Kerry2016-05-09T00:00:00Z

Beautiful room, well appointed furnishings and linens.

Steve2015-12-30T00:00:00Z

WONDERFUL stay! Jc's place really is a "peaceful enclave", so relaxing and in a beautiful complex. The room is very well done and comfortable. She's very friendly and relaxed and feel like I now have a friend in Malibu :). Only stayed one night, but hope to be back again. Totally recommend it.

Brian2016-02-25T00:00:00Z

Staying here was great! Jc was super friendly and hospitable and made us feel just at home. It was my girlfriend's birthday and she made us feel very welcome.

An easy way to have an amazing local Malibu experience! We are a vibrant, artistic household and love to meet new people. We will welcome your into our family. This is a place to relax, to surf, to hike, or to join us for a meal.

This is a large bedroom/bathroom in a charming, bohemian home. Julia and her family will be your host in their artsy home, and lots of outdoor living in a great atmosphere. Please note, this is an older home - an original "ranch style" Malibu house. Everything is perfectly clean and well maintained with love. Julia will make sure you are comfortable and have everything you need for a relaxing stay. The bed is a very comfortable queen. The shower in the bathroom is small but the dressing room/vanity area is large and airy. There is a refrigerator, microwave, coffeemaker and set up for light food preparation. A beautiful patio with lights is directly outside the room for an afternoon or evening glass of wine or a morning cup of coffee. There are beach towels, blankets umbrellas available for your use.

There is nothing quite like Malibu. A small, very exclusive community with incredible beaches and amazing mountains close by. Fantastic restaurants and a very unique beach scene.

This was my first AirBnb experience. Julia made it a wonderful experience. Julia and family are very friendly and hospitable; they welcome me, my wife, and one year old as family. The room we stayed in was large enough to fit the three of us comfortably. Their wonderful home is in a rather fancy and safe neighborhood. As stated in other reviews the home is a 5 min walk for a private beach. We would stay with Julia again.

Jeffrey2015-06-06T00:00:00Z

We had a wonderful, albeit too short, of a time in Malibu. Julia was a wonderful host who made us feel welcome right from the time we arrived. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable and the yard was incredible!! My wife and I loved the beach which was only a short walk down the road, with private access. We had a great visit with Julia and her daughter Brooke, also very lovely, over coffee in the morning. They both helped with suggestions of places to stop on the rest of our trip. Fantastic hosts that are happy to take the time to help out when needed. We highly recommend staying here and will definitely be back. Thanks again, Seann and Nasha

Seann2015-10-17T00:00:00Z

Julia was a fantastic host! Her and her dog Luna were Super welcoming and a joy to meet. Julia's house is stunning, beautifully decorated and very cosy. The room was very comfortable and very well equipped, we didn't anything else. Julia was very flexible with our arrival time and because we'd had a very long flight in to LAX, she showed us about and then left us to get some well needed rest. In the morning, there was plenty of tea, coffee and some pastries, that we took down to the private beach with us. She has even offered us the use of the private beach pass on our trip back down from SF. Highly recommended!

Sam2016-02-02T00:00:00Z

Julia was a wonderful host. The room is lovely, funky and artsy, with a high ceiling, but the key is the relaxing backyard, not to mention proximity to the beach and cool shopping/dining areas in Malibu. She and her niece and housemate were super friendly, as was dog Luna and cat Lynx... An ideal place to unwind and do some writing, as I did...

Michael2016-03-03T00:00:00Z

The neighborhood was quiet.

Meg2016-03-15T00:00:00Z

What an amazing place. The room itself is a separate unit which is (like the whole house) beautifully decorated and feels like home. Julia is friendly and hospitable and is the perfect host. The back yard is beautiful, calming and inspiring, And the location is just fantastic. 2 minutes walk from a private beach, which is one of the most tranquil Places one can imagine. 5 stars.

Yoav2016-10-05T00:00:00Z

We had a great time at Julia's home. She was so accommodating and has a beautiful home. We felt very comfortable there. It was great to have private beach access and our own space. Julia was very busy with her business so we didn't see her much but all of our needs were provided. I highly recommend staying with her if you are ever in Malibu.

Denise2016-07-08T00:00:00Z

We had a very pleasant stay at Julia. The neighborhood is quiet, access to the exceptional beach, Julia's house very pleasant. Julia has shown a very considerate host and really friendly

Unique guest cabin with loft minutes walk from epic beaches. Lots of natural light, wonderfully decorated with a bohemian flair. Unit has 2 singles and 1 queen in loft and a full size bed in separate room. Accommodates 6-8 people.

Quite country atmosphere with ocean views

The cottage was beautiful and perfect for our little weekend getaway. There are two single beds and two queen beds. Three of the beds are in a loft area and the ceiling is very low to the beds so you won't be able to sit up, but this was not an issue for us. Nevi was very friendly and helpful with check-in and any other questions we had. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Charming guesthouse

Erling Andreas2017-07-06T00:00:00Z

This place is great. It's rustic and secluded, felt like where Thoreau went to write. Beach by day, and camp fire by night. The neighbor is wonderful and the host was kind and consistent. So close to the city but you feel like you've escaped. Three nights here was perfect. Went to the farmers market, a couple of different beaches. Great restaurants, super close by and an overall fabulous place to stay. Recommend it.

Rupinder2017-07-05T00:00:00Z

A sweet, private getaway. Gorgeous ocean views and the sounds of nature everywhere - loved sleeping while listening to howling coyotes, hooting owls and the distant Escondido falls. Definitely a favorite place to relax in Malibu...

Janette2017-08-13T00:00:00Z

Beautiful fun cabin in a gorgeous location; lovely welcome from neighbour when we arrived. We came with our teenagers who loved it! A great base to explore Malibu.

Shiv2017-07-26T00:00:00Z

Great place, but definitely wise to go during a not so hot month. We stayed here during the heatwave in August and during the day it was too hot even with the AC on all day. Luckily we were at the beach all day, but just a heads up in case people wanted to stay here during the day in a hot time of year. Other than that, everything was exactly like the pictures and it was perfect!

Devin2017-09-03T00:00:00Z

Had such a wonderful and unique stay at this cute rustic cottage. Great location (walking distance to the nearby beach), beautiful views (the photos in the posting don't do it justice), and an overall relaxing getaway. Fully equipped kitchen if you'd like to prepare your own meals, and very friendly neighbors. Highly recommend!

Courtney2017-08-29T00:00:00Z

This place was incredible with amazing views and a wonderful location. There were trails to hike nearby and mailbu's beaches down the street. The town was also very cute with shops and great restaurants just a close drive away. This place had a cabin-like feel. We liked to call it "glamping" because it had a glamorous camping feel. Along with this there was a nice outdoor area we were lucky to use which over looked the ocean. Nevi was great and so was the communication for this trip. Would go back in a heartbeat.

I feel bad leaving this review because Mark was really nice and prompt with my concerns and giving my money back. This home/apartment was horrible! The photos listed are very deceiving and make this apartment look nice and redone. The bathroom had mold and the ceiling had mold and some yellow slime. The kitchen was very old and mold in the caulk. The stove did not work and smelled like leaking gas. I also could not lock the sliding door because it was broken. Sadly I was stuck there for the night. The home should of never been rented when it was in this condition. It also smelled musty and my entire group got congested. I don't stay in places like this and if I was aware of the situation I would of never booked it.

Kelly2017-08-13T00:00:00Z

We had a great time at Mark's place, location is good, few minutes drive from the most beautiful beaches of Malibu. The house is quiet and located just next to the sea.

Francesco2017-08-11T00:00:00Z

We checked in at #71 with my wife and 3 kids for 8 nights and I must say we enjoyed our stay there. The address given for our house using the entrance directly off the Pacific Coast Highway was confusing to most cab and shuttle taxi drivers and more so at night. I forgot one of my suitcases at the airport and it took 45 minutes for the airline shuttle guy after arriving at our location to find us! We found out the hard way after many frustrated Uber cancellations, that it is better to use the entrance through Sycamore drive. This is what the GPS in all vehicles we used recognized and is what Mark should use to direct his clients. We were a bit anxious when we approached the apartment on the first day as it looked much better on the inside than it did on the outside. We liked that the apartment had a lot of natural light flowing into all the rooms and was clean. Everything was as promised except that some of the appliances were a little outdated. The fridge leaked water on some days and we had to figure out how to remove the water from the floor, which was not pleasant. The Fridge's thermostat was quite loud and clanky especially when one was sleeping. The stove area smelled of leaking cooking gas and the glass door into the terrace and windows in the bedroom did not lock up. Mark should also provide in his information pack where the laundry and garbage areas are to be found. It is also noteworthy that the phone network signal is quite poor in this area. We did not use the tunnel below the road to get to the beach as it was flooded, rather we decided to cross the busy Pacific Highway to get there. One has to be really patient and careful to cross the road as it does get busy but we did enjoy the beach walks. A week is a long time in an apartment with the whole family, but the Wifi and TV(no cable network) kept everyone entertained when we retreated back to the apartment after a busy day. Mark is great guy, is very responsive to questions and I would not hesitate to visit again.

Thairo2017-08-24T00:00:00Z

This was a nice apartment with beautiful surroundings. It was great being near the ocean, the beach and the cool breezes. With 2 BR (1 bed each) and 1 BA, the place was a bit small for my family of 5, but it worked out fine for the 2 nights we stayed. The TV had Netflix and Hulu but no network or cable TV. We're glad there was Wi-fi so that our kids weren't bored. When my car had difficulty starting, the owner's assistant was nice enough to help give me a jump start.

Bruce2017-07-23T00:00:00Z

Mark's place was great from start to finish. The apartment was clean, bright and welcoming when we first arrived. We booked this place as a chance to relax and chill out while we travel up the West coast. It offered a quiet place to do that, whilst only 30mins drive from Santa Monica. We also had access to a great little beach across the road. Mark was also a great host who was quick to respond to questions and messages. I would highly recommend this place to any one looking for a quiet get away in Malibu.

Lewis2017-07-19T00:00:00Z

Great spacious apartment with 2 huge bedrooms in a location across the highway from the beach. Would recommend this to anyone to soak up the Malibu lifestyle.

Graham2017-07-21T00:00:00Z

Nice place, plenty of space, great location. Malibu is beautiful, and being able to walk to the beach from the place is great.

kirsty2017-02-22T00:00:00Z

Wonderful house! Very comfortable with lovely decks. Private beach is great. Will be staying here again!

Charlotte2017-04-26T00:00:00Z

Nancy's house could not be more welcoming and charming. This was our second stay and it felt like home. The house is a tranquil getaway from the hustle and bustle of the everyday. The house fit out family of 6 perfectly and was comfy and cozy. The kitchen is small but well equipped and it was a pleasure to cook in. The beach access leads you to a beach of unparalleled beauty. Walk left to enjoy a fun meal at Paradise Cove. Walk left and see the wonders of Point Dume. We can't wait to return to this very special place. Thank you, Nancy, for sharing your special place with us!

Jenny2016-10-13T00:00:00Z

The house was wonderfully located north of the hub bub, one block towards the ocean off PCH. Nancy gave exact directions for location and entry. Her neighbor, Carolyn, given as reference to any question was not called upon. My party had a local friend scoot us around; great hikes, got to see whales, little shopping and dining. We cooked in one night for all and the kitchen was well stocked with appliances, flatware, cookware and dishes. We ate mornings on the deck, enjoying the cool and the woodsy atmosphere. Truly a great home with great info for the travelers left by Nancy. Internet was fast, watched a DVD I brought but the host had lots available as well as Netflix on TV. Great location, well stocked, off the beaten but close to all. We enjoyed the time at home just visiting on the deck(s).

Barbara2016-04-25T00:00:00Z

A lovely charming home, so relaxing and peaceful. We are already planning dates to return to this property!

Malinda2017-07-05T00:00:00Z

The images don't do justice to this private sanctuary just moments from the beach. We wanted a quiet, relaxing family stay and found just that. During the day the rear deck was wonderful to sit and enjoy conversation. At night, the living room was perfectly arranged for for family games and catching up on old times. There's an amazing collection of books throughout the house. I wish I had time to explore them all.

Brian2016-10-09T00:00:00Z

Love, love, loved it! Charming, peaceful. Perfect for our family. The beach access was a huge plus. The house isn't glamorous but what it may lack in glamour, it more than makes up in charm and coziness. Eating breakfast on the deck among the beautiful trees and flowers was a highlight. And our twelve year-old daughter loved the rope swing. We would love to come back.

Jenny2016-05-11T00:00:00Z

The house was everything I expected and looks EXACTLY as it does in the photos. The location is perfect and the beaches beautiful. We walked to the beach every day (it is an easy 15 minute walk). My daughters and I had a wonderful mother/daughter week full of exciting hiking and adventures (surfing, rock climbing, hang gliding) all within a short drive from the house. I would 100% stay here again without hesitation.

This was a perfect place to stay for a weekend on Malibu. It was close to a quieter beach called Point Dume Beach. and just a quick bike ride to a lot of restaurants and bars. It's also a quick bike ride to Malibu Pier. Jody was a perfect host and even left snacks and drinks - it was above and beyond what's expected. The place is roomy and homey at the same time- bigger than any studio apartment in San Francisco equipped with a kitchen, washer/dryer, queen bed and TV. Thank you, I would def stay here again. Best

Deanna2014-04-28T00:00:00Z

Jody is a great host and gave us recommendations for hiking, beach and eating spots in the neighborhood. We had the best time! The studio is absolutely amazing; super comfortable, clean, bright and has a perfect location to enjoy great hiking opportunities around and even better beaches. The studio is also close by great restaurant and grocery stores, ideal to stock up and put something on the grill and enjoy the beautiful outdoor patio.

No immediate neighbors, yet close to PCH and Santa Monica. Perfect for a larger group retreat. Welcome to a beautiful dream - book for however many nights you'd like it to last.

Convenient location: out of the city but close enough... 8 min to PCH, 20 min to Santa Monica -- and, at the same time, so secluded and peaceful.

The place was beautiful and Monic made sure we had everything we needed. The view and pool are unreal.

Monic's home was exactly the right size for us and provided views and an ambiance that kept taking our breath away. We did have a toilet and sink issue during our stay, but Monic's maintenance team for the house were so helpful and resolved the issue with expediency and grace. Monica even went out of her way to bring extra items for our stay making the kids and teens in our family all the happier. Thank you, Monic!! Your hospitality really made our wedding weekend so much more special.

Natalie2017-08-12T00:00:00Z

Monic is a wonderful and respectful host. The all encompassing views from her property are likely unmatched. The trek up the mountain is an experience in itself. There is no doubt that this is a special place. The room and accommodations were adequate and quiet. I value the opportunity to have stayed at Monic's property and will always remember this special place.

Steven2016-04-10T00:00:00Z

Great place and Jose the land manager was a great help! Totally recommend it!!

Oto2017-07-17T00:00:00Z

Monic is one of the best host I have ever stayed with. She was very accommodating and made my time in Malibu memorable. I absolutely would stay here again. If you are ever visiting the area and want a truly unique experience, this is the place to go! The views are amazing, and her hot tub was the perfect bit of relaxation that I needed.

Bilal2016-11-17T00:00:00Z

I celebrated my birthday with family and friends at Monic's Malibu home. It was plenty of space for us (everyone was able to have their own bed and room). The pool was absolutely stunning with the views of the canyon. My only recommendation to future guests would be to bring everything they needed (couldn't find things like scissors or enough trash bags for example). I couldn't really tell from the pictures and description in the listing what to expect so it was much better than I expected. There was no AC except for the master bedroom so be prepared for that. We were lucky that there was a nice breeze one day, but it does get hot in the summertime. Also there IS a BBQ grill in case anyone was wondering and a canopy out by the pool. Hope this is helpful to future guests!

Lisa2017-08-06T00:00:00Z

amazing quite place location, amazing pool and view, wonderful host, sleeps many but clearly very rough around the edges be prepared.

Nate2017-06-11T00:00:00Z

Great place with amazing views! Monic was a great host and incredibly accommodating with any ask. She even had someone to drive us around town for a small fee. The place is a bit of a trek up the mountain, but worth it for the amazing view up top.

Booking today will get you access to this French Chateau nestled in the heart of Malibu. Upon request complimentary wine is available. A personal assistant is also available to you on-call during your stay.

Château De Bois has a cozy and modern French architectural design, nestled into a very private wonderland neighborhood.

This is such a beautiful house and garden with a very chilled out vibe. Loved the hammock in the garden and the peacefulness. The bed was very comfortable and the bathtub was lovely. Caesar was very helpful and kind and was able to assist me with anything I needed during my stay. I will definitely be back again.

Lee2017-09-04T00:00:00Z

THIS PLACE IS AMAZING!!! You get your own space surrounding the guest house, access to pool, jacuzzi, weight room, etc. Everything was welcoming when we arrived, from drinks and snacks, to a hot ready-to-go jacuzzi. Michael was great: He welcomed us, but was not intrusive for the rest of the stay. He made sure we had everything we needed. He was in great communication from start to finish. We had a monster ping-pong tournament at the outdoor space, late into the night, we were a little noisy but it wasn't a problem at all because of the seclusions of the guest house and location. You really feel like you have your own place to relax and play. Very happy with the whole place, the price, and everything the host did for us. Thanks very much Michael!!

Robert2015-08-16T00:00:00Z

We had a terrific stay. The setting was idyllic and Michael was incredibly helpful with everything from check in/out through to restaurant recommendations. A perfect romantic retreat.

Luke2016-02-14T00:00:00Z

My girlfriend and I rented Michael's place for a little weekend getaway from LA. We found our experience to be as good if not better than expected from the listing. The neighborhood is private and quiet. The cottage was perfect for two and we found a nice bottle of wine waiting for us. The kitchen had more than the essentials for cooking. We made a last minute request for some firewood and the estate manager made it happen. Excellent place if you want to chill and relax. Will do again.

Carlin2017-03-26T00:00:00Z

Great place to stay if you want some quite time in a secluded neighborhood. It's very cozy, great decor and kitchen and you are welcomed with a nice bottle of Napa's finest ;-)

Mathias2017-03-24T00:00:00Z

Michael was a great host! Very attentive when needed. The guest home was the perfect Malibu getaway, easy to find but felt worlds away. The home has a lot of amenities and was in great condition.

New2015-08-02T00:00:00Z

The house was absolutely gorgeous and the owners are incredibly friendly. It's the perfect get away for any single person or couple. Can't wait to go back!

We loved staying at Paula’s place. The ranch house is very well equipped, the kitchen is lovely and we made many home-cooked meals. The bedrooms were big and comfy with plenty of spare cushions and bedding. The large washing machine and dryer were much appreciated. The house is full of sole with many nic-nacks and items from Paula’s life on display – we loved the human and intimate nature this gave to the place. It was the perfect opposite to an anonymous sterile hotel room. We enjoyed leafing through the bookshelf and playing the board games. The house is well laid out and larger than the pictures suggest. It’s a very short drive to the super Zuma beach – my young boys enjoyed body-boarding here. We enjoyed shopping at the Vintage Market for our foodstuffs and eating at Spruzzo. Traffic noise may be a problem for some, we found it noisy on a Sat night (lots of sirens) but got used to it quickly and did not find it too intrusive. We did not use the pool so cannot comment on that. Paula was a perfect host, very friendly and helpful.

Sarah2014-08-22T00:00:00Z

We stayed at Paula's house for 8 days and loved it here! the weather was perfect and the house was super comfortable and perfect for our needs. It looks exactly as shown in the pictures and the energy in the home is warm and inviting. there is a nice cool ocean breeze that flows throughout the property that we enjoyed and the pool was magical. Paula did an amazing job making us feel comfortable and giving us our space! It's very private and the house holds everything you would possibly need. It's a very shabby chic type place, definitely not modern or high end in any way. But your paying for the location, space, comfortability and privacy! The reason why i gave it 4/5 stars, is because you can totally hear the traffic from down below. It's super loud during the day and the way the house is situated it's like a sound funnel right into the house. But this is not a problem at night or when the doors are closed. I would recommend this house to those who are looking for a casual and comfortable place to stay. We look forward to going back!

monique2012-08-15T00:00:00Z

Paula is a lovely lady and her house is even better than the photographs let on. She provided us with some milk, brad and fruit upon our arrival, the house is just like coming home, it has everything you could ever want or need, the washer/dryer was a god send. We ate in the garden and had breakfast in the dinning room, the beds are comfy, the shower is great and there are lots of large fluffy towels provided. Paula's house is just next door on the other side of the drive, which is also where the pool is located, we didn't use it as we only had one day available for sunbathing and chose to go to the beautiful local zuma beach (must go) and pick up the best coffee I've had in California at the little coffee/book shop in the palisades mall just 2 minutes drive from the house. You can hear the traffic from the highway below but it is distant, coming from London we didn't even notice it! Thank you Paula we loved your home :)

Dean and Sam2013-05-08T00:00:00Z

Nice place and nice people. Great place to stay in Malibu!

Josh2015-05-12T00:00:00Z

Two couples spent 3 nights at Malibu Ranch House. The house is truly 1940's vintage and was an interesting and nice place to spend our long weekend. We had to contact Paula only once, but she was readily available. The stove also appears to be 1940's vintage, but we were able to get it to work and had no problems. The oven is and takes some time to warm up. The size limits the number of things that can be cooked at one time. Keep this in mind if planning a large dinner. The kitchen does have a dishwasher...a nice non-1940's touch! Our bed was comfortable, but the other couple complained that their bed was small and not very comfortable. The house is actually quite roomy, was clean, and had the necessary kitchen items. The bathroom could have been a bit cleaner, but was OK. The backyard has a nice sitting area and made for a great place to have breakfast. It is pleasant, but traffic noise from the road below is fairly constant. The location is close to several beaches and not far from Santa Monica or Thousand Oaks if you are interested in traveling in those directions. We used the house as a base for beach time, surfing, and bicycling. If you are interested in being electronically connected at all times this may not be the place for you. AT&T phone reception was nonexistent; however, 1 member of our party had Verizon and had no difficulty. The WiFi in the house was not working while we were there. We were able to use the WiFi from the main house, but were confined to a relatively small area when using it and often the transmission was slow. Would I recommend the Ranch House to a friend? Maybe. It depends upon the number of people and what they want to do. I would say the same thing for myself. Maybe yes; maybe no. It would depend upon the number of people and what we all wanted to do.

Steve2013-12-02T00:00:00Z

The hosts received us in a very friendly way. The unit is just perfect and we really felt well during our stay. Very good taste in terms of decoration. Nice library. The only thing that was disappointing was the access to the swimming pool. From the listing main photo we remain with the idea that the swimming pool was integrated with the units area but no. We didn't felt at will staying in the swimming. Maybe it was us.

André2016-06-27T00:00:00Z

We loved Paula's ranch in Malibu. The property was private and peaceful and our favorite part was lounging by the enormous pool with the beautiful vistas in the background. The house was exactly as shown and described. It was well appointed, clean and stocked with towels, linens and toiletries. It was an easy location central to everything Malibu and Southern California have to offer. Highly recommend!

Maria2016-06-22T00:00:00Z

I liked everything, but in Malibu without a car is nothing to do, the cool ocean. Housing worthy, a large area, a swimming pool all ok

Private upstairs guest house overlooking Paradise Cove, Malibu. One bedroom, full bath and well equipped kitchen. Two balcony patios overlooking rolling hills to the ocean. Have your morning coffee on the balcony and then wander off to explore beautiful Malibu and the greater Los Angeles area.
You will be about a half mile walk to Paradise Cove Beach, or from 2 miles (Zuma Beach) to 7 miles (Malibu Beach) from world famous beaches. If you like to hike, we are walking distance from California State and National parklands that offer beautiful and varied terrains for hiking or biking (or horseback riding).
We are a mile or less from restaurants, and grocery stores, and 6 miles from "downtown" Malibu, where you will find movie theaters, shops and restaurants.
Two large comfy couches in living room can be made up as beds for two additional guests (total max 4 guests) and would be approximately twin bed sized each.

Very friendly, convenient and good location. Super smooth. Paul and Jennifer were great.

Steven2014-03-25T00:00:00Z

We had a wonderful week at the guest house. It was clean and very comfortable. The location was great with beautiful views from the the balconies. Jennifer and Paul were welcoming hosts and made our trip to Malibu a vacation we'll always remember.

You will love staying with us in our 3 bedroom house on 1 acre in Malibu. We are less than a mile from Paradise Cove and Zuma Beach. Beautiful view of the Pacific and a wonderful Jacuzzi with amazing views along with a hot outdoor sauna. Home is always kept clean / spotless! Comfortable queen size bed. Fast Fios Wifi

The room is good size and the bed is comfortable with plenty of closet space.

Malibu is a place to relax and unwind. Close to Santa Monica and all of Los Angeles. Our home is super-quiet.

I had a great stay with Brad and Monica. It is a beautiful place and such a nice area, close to the beach. There's a great set of shops nearby with organic foods and a vibrant yoga studio. Thanks again guys!

Dave2016-09-08T00:00:00Z

Brad was very welcoming and easy going. His place is located in what I think is one of the best areas in Malibu to stay in. While those two things are great, the house is dated, and the room is musty.

Peter2016-06-06T00:00:00Z

The host canceled this reservation 49 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Chongeun2017-04-15T00:00:00Z

Brad was very friendly and made my stay very accommodating. I stayed for only one night, and arrived late that night before, but the next morning Brad showed me around the beautiful premises, and view of the Pacific, which is spectacular. Smart fellow, with a beautiful home, and it was a pleasure to stay there!

John2016-07-17T00:00:00Z

Gorgeous location and so convenient to Malibu!

Kathleen2016-01-17T00:00:00Z

Wonderful Hosts in Beautiful Malibu! My stay with Brad was excellent. The room and bathroom were immaculate, and Brad was warm, welcoming, and friendly. In addition to the hospitality, Brad offered great recommendations of restaurants and hikes, and just all around made the stay feel very comfortable and homey. I look forward to another stay with Brad next time I'm in Malibu!

Christopher2016-01-04T00:00:00Z

I was here for two full days and night and it was exactly the kind of place I needed. Perfect location to explore Dume Point State Park, Zuma Beach, and all the trails in the surrounding area. Brad was very flexible with my timing, and very accommodating overall. If I was staying longer I'd take advantage of the jacuzzi, sauna, and view...next time.

Garo2016-07-25T00:00:00Z

Brad was an amazing host! I made a last minute decision to rent this room for the Malibu Triathlon in September and I was not disappointed! The house is incredibly close to Zuma Beach (my destination at 4am) and an ideal spot for any future racers (or really anyone who wants to enjoy Malibu!). Don't let the pictures fool you, the views from the yard are simply breathtaking. I didn't have any time to hop in the jacuzzi which is probably my only regret from the trip. I could only imagine how relaxing it is to sit in there while taking in the sweeping views on the Pacific Ocean. The house itself is very clean and welcoming (with full access to the fridge and pantry to boot). The bedroom is large and comfortable with an incredibly comfortable bed and pillows. The bathroom is also large, clean, and well stocked with anything you can need (I seriously felt like I was in a hotel!). The details is where everything really shines about this place and Brad. With plenty of outlets to plug in devices, access to wifi, mints and candles on the room, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, toothpaste, floss, everything. He even let me come back after my race to take a shower well after 11 AM (take that late checkout hotels!) Finally, Brad is lightning fast at responding to any of your messages. I didn't get in until after 11PM and left the house at 4AM so I didn't get a chance to chat with him but he kept me in the loop at all times. If you need a quiet, safe, comfortable and affordable option in Malibu, look no further.

Malibu Maison de Reve, or Malibu Dream House, is a little closer to heaven than most places. From its location up in the Malibu hills & its secluded niche at the end of its own private road, the estate overlooks a vast swath of the Pacific, stretching from Catalina to Santa Monica Bay. The house & grounds are sprawled across 3 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens, organic citrus trees, lush plant & forest life, heated pool & golf green. An easy 10 min drive to Nobu & 30 to Santa Monica pier

We had a fantastic stay at Sean and Sanne's place! Wonderful location. Very peaceful and relaxing. Everything met and exceeded expectations. We will definitely be back
